Yea, good backstory when they interviewed him on ABC, he was a dude that knew nothing about sports, and decided he could fill in because it because it was just read a teleprompter and it malfunctioned about 1 second into it. Someone was looking out for him and made him suffer, he's supposedly a successful reporter now. I wish or hope he trademarked that line; he'd be one of the richest people in the country.
@@jm3245 Ha! I know right.. when he throws it back to the anchors is definitely the best part, but the best part of that part is his head movement no doubt about it! LOL. Good catch!
This is what a sportscaster sounds like when he is told through the teleprompter that his family has been kidnapped and will die if he doesn't nail this segment.
GHOSTFACE SKRILLA whoa, I liked the comment as well, but to say hands down the best of all time is a bit much. However I dont know what other comments you have or have not read & you are entitled to your opinion.
Despite the train wreck of the segment, he pressed ahead with the delivery of his catch phrase. Despite having apparently very little natural talent for it, he pressed on and became a reporter. This guy is a monument to determination. I actually admire the guy.
I don’t know how I came across this but as someone who’s done a lot of shameful shit in my life, oof, I couldn’t even get through this. I know it’s funny, haha, and he’s getting clowned in the comments, but this is the type of thing that could have destroyed any sort of confidence this man ever had, and I’m sure he’s carried the shame of this with him for a long time, and may still to this day. Hopefully he’s put this behind him and has moved on but fuck, this type of stuff can have a profound impact on your entire life.
ccricers It's even funnier because he has no idea what team Reggie Miller is even on (or who he even is)... Come on. Indiana is basketball country... And he's a sports analyst.hahaha
SHADY3k He says "passes it to the man" haha. He has no clue who shoots the "boom goes the dynamite" shot! haha Also, he says "Chris Paul REBOUNDS out the list" haha
Ha! I was in TV for 30 and ask to step in on a live show as moderator with a lousy prompter operator and a dead IFB from NCC..What a show..I feel his pain!
@@Jayson90210 I never thought teleprompters had to be operated. Wild that they haven’t found a computer to find the optimal scrolling time so it can be automatic
This guy is like probably in his 30s now with kids. They run up to him with their phone. "Daddy is this you?" And he just walks away and heads toward the liquor stash and goes into his room and locks the door.
wasn't a panic attack per se (although I'm sure it turned into that lol) the actual story is that there was a glitch with the teleprompter (I think it was going too fast?) so he had a hard time saying everything he was supposed to.
This guy is hardly the worst sports guy in the history of the world. It's the teleprompter guy that completely ruined this segment. This dude gets to go down in history for adding "boom goes the dynamite!" to the popular lexicon.
I know exactly how this guy feels. I remember the first time I played a show with my band way back in like 2009 and I was the front. I had never sang in front of a group before and I was so nervous my voice kept cracking like a 12 year old haha
Yall, that was his first time ever, the person called off They told him to just read the screen and he will be okay. I believe the teleprompter fast forwarded the script and just went downhill from there Its all in the link i had posted
From wikipedia: The teleprompter was operational, but an inexperienced operator accidentally fast-forwarded through the script, leaving Collins with no choice but to ad-lib most of his script.
You know, I'm sure he didn't want to throw anyone under the bus as a fill-in but he really should have apologized to the audience and just said we're having some technical difficulties with the teleprompter and at least saved himself a bit instead of reading every other line/word and sounding like a complete mess.
The first time I watched this I died laughing, then I got high and watched it again and realized how sad and devastating it was. The kid sounded so distraught when he was going over the baseball segment at the beginning, it sounded as if he felt he just blew his big chance. The fact that he was able to riff and improvise even a little was absolutely incredible, I would’ve straight up walked of the set on live tv if we’re in his shoes, so major props to him.
Lol. I was thinking the same thing. No way I’m making it thru 3 1/2 minutes of that. I’m surprised nobody came to the rescue. They let the poor guy suffer thru it all.
if i remember correctly, what happened was that the usual sportscaster got sick and with no one else to do it, they told this guy to do it. Like, with no preparations. I could be wrong tho.
+IceWarm I am pretty sure Travis was based on him. Just look at the profile of the two, they even made Travis look like Brian Boom Goes the Dynamite guy.
The sports guy called in sick. Brian volunteered to do it. They gave him the script 30 seconds before they went live, and his teleprompter started malfunctioning and sped up faster than he could read. The irony is, that he had the print-out in front of him, but was too green to remember to use it. He got a lot of hate mail, but actually went into broadcasting and was pretty good at it.
After the worst experience of your life happens on TV and then goes on the internet, the only way he could really go was up. Smart guy with a steel pair to get back up there again
He probably wasn't. Usually the sports anchor is in their own area, then walk to the table at the end. I think that's what he was doing after he said they were going to check out the scores.
On-air wasn't his job. Besides, he was a student intern at the station. Most college towns have a TV affiliate where broadcast journalism students work at to hone their skills and get experience. Brian probably was asked 5 minutes before the broadcast to do this, and everything else went wrong. It's like every cardiovascular surgeon in a hospital is out and they need to perform an emergency surgery and ask the 23 year old medical technician to do it.
That “oh no” is definitely where he realizes how utterly screwed he is. Like the last calms words of a pilot before he starts to go down and fight for control. Reggie Miller is when he accepts it and finds peace right at the end.
That’s what he should have done though. He should’ve stopped and let someone know the teleprompter was goofing up, and they could’ve gone to commercial during the technical difficulties.
@@TheWaynelds Yeah, I am surprised they kept it going. It should have been clear to everyone that there was an issue. Either the teleprompter was screwed up or this guy was having a stroke.
to those that don't know the backstory: he was a college student at Ball State doing a sports report for his communications class, and the teleprompter malfunctioned right at the start, forcing him to make it up as he went along with zero help
+Sidney Crosby Beat me to it, although I did read on Wikipedia that the teleprompter was working fine, but the inexperienced operator accidentally fast forwarded the script forcing this guy to Ad-Lib his lines.
Considering your username is "LeafyisQueer" I don't think calling someone unimaginative is something you're in any position to do. It would be like Shaq criticizing someone's free throw ability. Or William Shatner calling somebody a ham.
Happened to me during a piano recital when I was a kid. Knew the piece really well going and could play it no problem. Got a few bars into it during the performance and just completely blanked. It was as if I had never touched a piano before. Couldn’t even finish the piece. Feel for this guy.
That happened to me too, i completely blanked and couldn’t even start over. I never did a recital again :( crazy to see your comment lol it brought back some memories 😅
@@calumjones ugh :(( I’m sorry to hear that. I don’t have an anxiety disorder but I never performed again and the idea of being in front of an audience for anything- musical, professional, in a school setting- is PARALYZING.

Let's be honest, we've all been there... Especially in english class. I'm friends with pretty much everyone in my english class and we talk, laugh and tell jokes but as soon as i walk up in front of everyone to do my english oral assessment i get nervous when i usually the funny confident guy in the group.
Yeah, but that's as a student. This guy's reading from the autocue and he's been given a job as a newsreader, you'd think he'd be a little more at ease.
Jacoby Phoenix ya exactly, one is as a student you have little choice. this guy CHOSE this profession. Why on earth would you choose a profession like this if you had a deathly fear of public speaking like this guy apparently has??
fyrestorme123 This was his first time ever doing this, as he was a sub. It didn't help that the prompter and auto-cue were broken, so everything he was supposed to say was going by way to fast.
hahaha I get your joke, but i like to think someone that doesn't know what you're talking about seeing that comment and just going, "Oh what the fuuu...."
But thanks to this guy, we have awesome jokes now....in a pick-up game you can just call out "he passes it to the man.." and then someone else will chime in boom goes the dynamite while everyone is laughing
Hello everyone. Well the Ball State softball team continued to play this weekend, and…they were hoping to continue off of their straight 3 out of 4 losses. And so we'll take a look and see how that happened. They started off good but then eventually but the Ball State women's ba - women's team shut down and ended up doing poorly. Oh no. Annnd ok we're gonna continue on now. The Ladies Cardinals will play in Iowa tournament starting this Friday. Before the Ball State baseball team kicks off its conference season this were - this weekend, the Cards will battle in instate rival Indiana tomorrow. Tomorrow's game will be the (pause) meeting between the two beating both..first…(sigh) (long silence) Hoosiers are on the four on (pause) on the year and they have won six of its last seven games tomorrow will be the game 3 at 3 pm. Which - switching to Ball State men's tennis - it seems last (pause) week player on it seems every week that you have a player (pause) (mouths "I'm so sorry.") Matt Lawrence is the latest Cardinals tennis player to win the award. Lamar won all this all the singles and doubles matches last week. So far the Cardinals have had a player honored on the we - on weekly awards seven out of the nine seven out of the nine weeks. The Cards will play at Boise State invite this weekend. The Indian - Indiana Pacers are looking for a measure - revenge tonight against the New Jersey Nets and to strengthen-their-playoff-hopes. The Nets won the last Sunday's matchup 94-85 which left the Pacers one game behind the Chicago in the seventh - series spot. Let's check out the highlights. Stephen Jackson's David…(pause) (sigh) Reggie Miller's lookin' good. He shoots the three…and it's good. Later he gets the rebound, passes it to the man, shoots it, and boom goes the dynamite. The final scores ended up with the Pacers' 63 to the Nets' 61. The Associated Press of the All-American first team in college ba-baseball was announced today at Utah 7-foot sophomore center Andrew Bo-got was the leading vote getting receiving 60 first place votes. Bo-got who is an Australian native received very little attention in the presentat - in the pr-preseason, but averaged 20 points and 12 rebounds a game for Utah. The four other players joining Bo-got on the AP team are senior forward Wayne Summers and Kansas - of Kansas, and Hack-en Warrick of Syracuse. Junior guard J.J. Redick of Duke and sophomore - and sophomore guard Chris Paul of Wake Forest rebounded out - the list. Let's check out some of the scores tonight.
18 years and its still the best video on RUclips. Content creators these days base their entire platform on being "cringe". They wish they could achieve this level of pure unadulterated cringe.
It was production team failure. It's clear he, the guy/gal feeding the script, and the video editor are not on the same page. This explains why guys like Bill O'Reilly and Chris Berman have footage of going ape shit. Because the screw up makes them look bad, while the behind scenes guys/gals don't get the humiliation/embarrassment.
I wouldn't blame more than half of this on the production team. I'd say it's more 75% this anchors fault. You can pretty much tell the correct wording is on the teleprompter much of the time and he's just mincing his words over and over and over again. Hahahaha soooo cringe worthy. Pure internet gold this is. Love it.
Well in O'Reilly's case, there was nothing wrong with the teleprompter. He literally just didn't like the script and threw a fit, saying things like "there's no words on there" out of pure anger even though there are words there.

"He gets the rebound and passes to the man." is a highly underrated part
Agreed 2:22 for anyone that wants to check it out
Or the fact he says “shoots the three” right before at a clear two-pointer.
I mean I’d say the same without a teleprompter
My favorite part..."passes it to the man..." Gets me every time
Left a good job on a sports team
Passin’ to the man every night and day
What's crazy is the "boom goes the dynamite" part is the only time he sounded remotely confident.
It's probably the only line he FELT confident about. XD
Its cause he did coke off screen

The most shocking thing about this video is that an NBA game ended with a score of 63-61.
Today's NBA would've reached that score by the 2nd quarter.
@@r.a.6459 lol, right
😂😂😂😂
@KandiandKasey2213 lmao, fair point.
The final score of that game was actually 98-91, he messed that up too. (Game was on March 25, 2005, it was 63-61 in the third quarter)
Love the way he says 'yeah' at the end. Fine young man. This stuff is harder than it looks.
That moment you lied on your Resumé and still got the job
On-air wasn't his job. Besides, he was a student intern at the station. Most college towns have a TV affiliate where broadcast journalism students work at to hone their skills and get experience. Brian probably was asked 5 minutes before the broadcast to do this, and everything else went wrong.
It's like every cardiovascular surgeon in a hospital is out and they need to perform an emergency surgery and ask the 23 year old medical technician to do it.
100
That's rude. Why don't you read about the backstory of the incident before judging ?
@@curiouscat9 it’s a joke not meant to be taken any seriously lol, I’m fully aware of the backstory.
“Okay thanks a lot for that look into sports brian”
“Ya”
DONT look at my about
2:23 you can hear him whisper “oh my god I hate myself right now” under his breath.
That’s so sad and something we can all relate to.
oh yeahh i can hear it
I feel like I went through the 5 stages of grief while watching this.
That “oh no” is definitely where he realizes how utterly screwed he is. Like the last calms words of a pilot before he starts to go down and fight for control. Reggie Miller is when he accepts it and finds peace right at the end.
That’s one of the funniest responses I’ve ever heard!
While hilarious, you gotta respect the fact that he kept going. He could have just gotten up and left but he pushed through
His legacy took the blow.
That’s what he should have done though. He should’ve stopped and let someone know the teleprompter was goofing up, and they could’ve gone to commercial during the technical difficulties.
@@waterblonk blonky what are you doing here?
@@TheWaynelds Yeah, I am surprised they kept it going. It should have been clear to everyone that there was an issue. Either the teleprompter was screwed up or this guy was having a stroke.
This is not pushing through . . .
I genuinely feel bad for this guy, he sounds so stressed.
Me too
His co anchors ain't shit, they watched bro fall outta the boat, struggle, sink, and die.
Couldn’t agree more
Foreal they should have stepped in or cut the camera for technical difficulties
They don't call them "anchors" for nothing. Bro begging for a life preserver. . .
3:38 his yeah gets me every time 😂😂
So funny. Like Dustin Hoffman in the graduate.
That is funny
@@tmac8892 thank you so much for that comment im laughing my ass off
That's like a Greg House yeah
lolololol
I'm envisioning this guy as having another kid below his trenchcoat like Vincent Adultman from Bojack Horseman.
Hahahahaha totally 🤣
He was just trying to do a business!
What are you talking about?
Vincent Adultman was a real grown up adult.
A kid wouldn't be trying to do a business!
Looool
1:18...I'm so sorry. We all are, bro.
Honestly this is more entertaining than anything you’ll ever see on ESPN
God i wish this guy actually was a sports broadcaster.... Honestly would make watching the news so much more entertaining...
I said the same thing! LOL
DaVinci Memes I would watch
Lol yes
He is
2nd hand embarrassment is real. Man I feel for this guy.
to those that don't know the backstory: he was a college student at Ball State doing a sports report for his communications class, and the teleprompter malfunctioned right at the start, forcing him to make it up as he went along with zero help
+Sidney Crosby No wonder he sounds just like Obama when he goes off the prompter himself.
You can tell he is reading the prompter and is just not reading far enough ahead to get his inflection right.
+Michael R I've never seen Obama flounder during a speech. I think you're thinking of the linguistically challenged George W. Bush.
+Sidney Crosby Beat me to it, although I did read on Wikipedia that the teleprompter was working fine, but the inexperienced operator accidentally fast forwarded the script forcing this guy to Ad-Lib his lines.
+Michael R You're a moron. Seriously.
I've seen this so many times yet I've never noticed that at 2:23 he whispers "I hate myself right now." Lmao
Good catch thanks
noooooo 😂
And the “I’m so sorry”
Ohhh my word, you're right! I didn't notice that either until I read your comment.
Thanks for pointing that out!
"Ok great, thanks for that look into sports, Ryan."
*exasperated
"Yeah."
*all hope destroyed
2:16 "He shoots the three, aand its good"
*Its a 2 pointer xD
Give him a break man
This chain of 12 year olds is cringier than the actual video.
Y'all so petty, lmao
Considering your username is "LeafyisQueer" I don't think calling someone unimaginative is something you're in any position to do. It would be like Shaq criticizing someone's free throw ability. Or William Shatner calling somebody a ham.
lol u mad? Strike another pose, cupcake.
“Reggie Miller’s lookin’ good” “gets the rebound, passes it to THE MAN and it’s good”
James Lilla
“Later, he gets the rebound, passes it to the man, shoots it-and boom goes the dynamite!”
“Passes it to the man and boom goes the dynamite”. Classic.
At 1:18 you can see him mouth the words “I’m so sorry.” I feel so bad for him.
Lmao 0:21 ....when he realised things weren't going to go to plan
Aztecius lmao "oh no"
Aztecius OH NOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!
Aztecius it was at this very moment when he knew he fucked up
It sounds like he was getting feedback and hearing himself on a delay.
At that point I would've just said "Sorry I can't do this" and got up and left
1:18 “im so sorry” aww poor guy
Happened to me during a piano recital when I was a kid. Knew the piece really well going and could play it no problem. Got a few bars into it during the performance and just completely blanked. It was as if I had never touched a piano before. Couldn’t even finish the piece. Feel for this guy.
Exact same thing happened to me. Exactly the same. I developed severe anxiety disorder by my adulthood.
That happened to me too, i completely blanked and couldn’t even start over. I never did a recital again :( crazy to see your comment lol it brought back some memories 😅
@@calumjones ugh :(( I’m sorry to hear that. I don’t have an anxiety disorder but I never performed again and the idea of being in front of an audience for anything- musical, professional, in a school setting- is PARALYZING. My mind leaves the chat and my heart rate skyrockets. After the whole thing I just wanna cry. I hope you have found good support and ways to manage your anxiety. Happy new year :)
@@kwizatzhannahrach id give it a shot again. Life is too short. Its better to try redemption then regret not going for it when its too late. I dont know ya but I believe in ya. Redeem yourself.

He reminds me of Ross Geller from Friends.
LALFAST Yeah but with a less goofy haircut.
LALFAST Holy shit I see it. But was he on a break?
Dang it, I looked up this video just to go straight to the comments and say what you just said, but literally your comment was the first one to pop up.
Omg I love that show I smashed my window when it ended
Hehe. Good one
Let's be honest, we've all been there... Especially in english class. I'm friends with pretty much everyone in my english class and we talk, laugh and tell jokes but as soon as i walk up in front of everyone to do my english oral assessment i get nervous when i usually the funny confident guy in the group.
Yeah, but that's as a student. This guy's reading from the autocue and he's been given a job as a newsreader, you'd think he'd be a little more at ease.
Jacoby Phoenix
The autocue was broken.
Jacoby Phoenix he had to sub in for some other dude. this was his first time being on screen
Jacoby Phoenix ya exactly, one is as a student you have little choice. this guy CHOSE this profession. Why on earth would you choose a profession like this if you had a deathly fear of public speaking like this guy apparently has??
fyrestorme123
This was his first time ever doing this, as he was a sub. It didn't help that the prompter and auto-cue were broken, so everything he was supposed to say was going by way to fast.
Look at all these grapes! Which terrible basketball player will pick them all up?
michael jordan
*****
Danny wins the basket ball,
Arin wins the... picking up the grapes game...
EVERYBODY WINS!
hahaha I get your joke, but i like to think someone that doesn't know what you're talking about seeing that comment and just going, "Oh what the fuuu...."
Hey I'm grump! I'm not so grump!! And we're the game grumps!!!
WHO'S GOT THE GRAPES?! I mean.... GRAPPLES!
This is the truest definition of second hand embarrassment,I've never felt more embarrassed for another human being ever in the history of my life.
But thanks to this guy, we have awesome jokes now....in a pick-up game you can just call out "he passes it to the man.." and then someone else will chime in boom goes the dynamite while everyone is laughing
@@KNR6292 yea I still die laughing every single time I watch star wars kid even though it ruined his life but damn if it ain't funny AF to me.
Hey, he didn't quit- he tried to power on. Give him a break, another chance, a lot of practices, and maybe a pair of glasses. Good luck to him!
I loved the constant sound of shuffling papers. As if there was salvation in the notes. And then his hair at the end!!!! Poor kid.
I was impressed by the way he got the rebound and passed it to the man.
“Face your fears” they said
“What’s the worst that could happen?” They said
This!😂
Just follow the prompter, they said. It won't crap out on you, they said.
I can relate to this.
Horrible flashbacks to a speech I gave at my friends wedding to the point that I can't watch this.
Same but except with a speech in class
Haha is it on video? Maybe you can post it on here
same speech for a scholarship in front og 50 people and an interview omg
Hello everyone. Well the Ball State softball team continued to play this weekend, and…they were hoping to continue off of their straight 3 out of 4 losses. And so we'll take a look and see how that happened. They started off good but then eventually but the Ball State women's ba - women's team shut down and ended up doing poorly. Oh no. Annnd ok we're gonna continue on now.
The Ladies Cardinals will play in Iowa tournament starting this Friday. Before the Ball State baseball team kicks off its conference season this were - this weekend, the Cards will battle in instate rival Indiana tomorrow. Tomorrow's game will be the (pause) meeting between the two beating both..first…(sigh) (long silence)
Hoosiers are on the four on (pause) on the year and they have won six of its last seven games tomorrow will be the game 3 at 3 pm. Which - switching to Ball State men's tennis - it seems last (pause) week player on it seems every week that you have a player (pause) (mouths "I'm so sorry.")
Matt Lawrence is the latest Cardinals tennis player to win the award. Lamar won all this all the singles and doubles matches last week. So far the Cardinals have had a player honored on the we - on weekly awards seven out of the nine seven out of the nine weeks. The Cards will play at Boise State invite this weekend.
The Indian - Indiana Pacers are looking for a measure - revenge tonight against the New Jersey Nets and to strengthen-their-playoff-hopes. The Nets won the last Sunday's matchup 94-85 which left the Pacers one game behind the Chicago in the seventh - series spot. Let's check out the highlights.
Stephen Jackson's David…(pause) (sigh) Reggie Miller's lookin' good. He shoots the three…and it's good. Later he gets the rebound, passes it to the man, shoots it, and boom goes the dynamite. The final scores ended up with the Pacers' 63 to the Nets' 61.
The Associated Press of the All-American first team in college ba-baseball was announced today at Utah 7-foot sophomore center Andrew Bo-got was the leading vote getting receiving 60 first place votes. Bo-got who is an Australian native received very little attention in the presentat - in the pr-preseason, but averaged 20 points and 12 rebounds a game for Utah. The four other players joining Bo-got on the AP team are senior forward Wayne Summers and Kansas - of Kansas, and Hack-en Warrick of Syracuse. Junior guard J.J. Redick of Duke and sophomore - and sophomore guard Chris Paul of Wake Forest rebounded out - the list.
Let's check out some of the scores tonight.
+EMM1138 Bless you.
+3HaloODST yeah
Lmao so much respect for typing it out perfectly
Wow. You really did this. That makes me want to take a cheese grater to the back of a fresh block of cheese and put it on my tacos
The look to continue their 3 out of 4 losses lol
I love how confidently he says "94-85" and then how quickly it again turns to shambles right after
18 years and its still the best video on RUclips. Content creators these days base their entire platform on being "cringe". They wish they could achieve this level of pure unadulterated cringe.
Amen.
You know a video is legendary when it has its own wikipedia article
"Passes it to the man" 😂😂😂
0:21 “Oh no”. lol poor guy already knew what was coming.
Never thought I’d get recommended a YT vid from “17 years ago”. Damn YT been around a while now.
Legends never die make sure you pass it to the man
It was production team failure. It's clear he, the guy/gal feeding the script, and the video editor are not on the same page. This explains why guys like Bill O'Reilly and Chris Berman have footage of going ape shit. Because the screw up makes them look bad, while the behind scenes guys/gals don't get the humiliation/embarrassment.
+rohit puri True man, but still, his voice sounds something like a 6th grade project or 12 year old amateur youtuber!
look up web revenge by tosh.o about this guy
I wouldn't blame more than half of this on the production team. I'd say it's more 75% this anchors fault. You can pretty much tell the correct wording is on the teleprompter much of the time and he's just mincing his words over and over and over again. Hahahaha soooo cringe worthy. Pure internet gold this is. Love it.
Well in O'Reilly's case, there was nothing wrong with the teleprompter. He literally just didn't like the script and threw a fit, saying things like "there's no words on there" out of pure anger even though there are words there.
Bill O'Reilly threw fits because of Bill O'Reilly.
That small glimpse of confidence at 1:54 lasted 1 second
17 years have passed, and the Steam studio wanted me to see it right now....WOW
2:19
...shoots the 3!
*literally doesn't*
Randyy1 also it wasn’t Reggie Miller 😂
@Tucker Johnson Umm no I'd agree that the player "literally" didn't shoot the 3
2:07 Stephen Jackson.. ₛₜₑₚₕₑₙ
You wrote that perfectly LMAO
Made my night with that font 😂😂😂
This is the best comment in RUclips history
What a comment. Cheers mate.
0:44 it all goes down hill LMAOOO I can’t stop dying
“He passes it to the man, and boom goes the dynamite”
Passes it to "The Man".😅😂
That sunken half hearted "yeah" he gives at the end kills me every time.
What a time to be alive.
rbryant100 very cool Calvin
Real Nic Cage vibes to it...
It was awesome & showed great character in my opinion. Most ppl would of ran out of there but he stuck it out & was like, “yup I just f*cked that up”.
Ross on friends vibes for me.
